Migration to SharePoint

One Platform to Rule Them All

Consolidating enterprise-wide assets into a single Microsoft SharePoint repository drives efficiency and accelerates collaboration. Transferring mission-critical content from legacy repositories, however, can prove daunting. When developing a migration strategy, questions arise about how to maintain business continuity throughout the process, how to streamline the organization of assets in the new platform, and how to provide a reliable transition experience for knowledge workers. A truly successful migration initiative addresses several key concerns:

• All Data Must be Migrated - Including All Metadata

  Just as important as the data itself, is the metadata – information such as authored by, creation date, securities, and version history. (i.e. “the data about the data”). A comprehensive Microsoft SharePoint migration strategy preserves all of this critical information throughout the migration process. This ensures that data confidentiality is not put at risk, and end-user collaboration is not compromised.

• Migrations Must Perform According to Business Schedules, Not the Other Way Around

  Transferring all content and users to a new platform is a major event for a company. To make sure this process does not adversely affect productivity or business activity, administrators must have the flexibility to granularly determine what they want to migrate, and when. With granular, discretely scheduled migration jobs, they can verify data integrity and incrementally transition users to the new platform without losing a moment of valuable productivity-time.

• Re-organizing Legacy Elements and Content Must be Easy and Precise

  Transitioning to Microsoft SharePoint is an ideal opportunity for organizations to clean up and re-organize their existing content and topology. The migration process can be leveraged to remove duplicate data, optimize how data is stored and managed, and accelerate overall productivity. To do this efficiently requires tools that enable granular migrations – down to the site or even item level. With this, companies re-architect their content to align with business needs.

• Multiple Legacy Sources Must be Consolidated Efficiently

  Often, the goal of a Microsoft SharePoint migration is to consolidate digital assets from numerous legacy platforms into a unified repository. To make this process efficient, it is critically important to find a single solution that can deftly handle migrations into SharePoint from multiple sources.
